Swag is the face you wear for the rest of the world. It's a defense mechanism - self preservation. It works well in bars, when you want to create that enviable aura around you. But when people start to know you, it'll wear off. In fact, coming close requires you to take off your swag.

Your swagger doesn't doesn't mean you don't give a fuck.

In fact, the bigger the swag, the more you care about what people think of you.

If your good thing is partying with friends, you'll see a lot of partying. But that's about all you'll ever do.

If your good thing is loving that special someone, it'll give you immense fulfillment for a long time. Except when it doesn't, and you'll be down in the dumps.

If your good thing is something that gives you personal joy - painting, writing, photography, anthropology, philanthropy, reading, making plane models, pottery, or just plain ol' fixing things around the house. It's the only time you have that will guarantee you a good night's sleep every time you do it.

Do something alone. Everyday if you can. It's the time you deserve to yourself and your happiness. Fight for this time. Be selfish for it. It's this time that'll keep you young at heart even when your body is 65.
